You know how they have the "barn quilts"? Maybe he can build bird houses with a small quilt painted on the side? This could identify all the quilters in your area if he sells them!

My hubby no longer is in construction yet the whole garge is full with odds and ends tool wise that people gave or he collected over time. It is his man cave. He does all kinds of stuff in there like making small wooden puzzles as gifts and small wooden boxes out of pieces of wood that he got free like firewood and drift wood. We are also both now into collecting vintage sewing machines. He loves the wheeling and dealing and then the fixing up of them. He also fixes used furniture and our house needs maintenance on a regular basis. The sewing machines do take some innitial money but if you can stand to part with some after fixing them then you could easily offset the cost. Sorry to hear about your hardship and loosing the RV. Ours is paid off but we almost sold it last year because of need for money. I hear you.

When I was single, I couldn't find ANYONE to help with the small stuff around the house! Advertise him as your "honey-do-guy" and that you'll hire him out!
Have HIM do the cooking and cleaning this winter so you can sew all you want!!!! :)
Why do you have to BUY coins??? I thought coin collecting meant watching every coin that crossed your palm for "the" one!!??? :?:

Maybe a doll house? I use to have a big one I stored my fq's in, but I think I busted the roof off of it! lol. Well, if nothing else, be glad for football season! My DH lives for golf, and I asked him what he was going to do without it, he just looked down, kinda sad & said he didnt know. Maybe I will teach him how to quilt.

I hope you find something for him. (It will make it easier on you too. ;-)
